NCIDQ Interior Design Practicum: Practice Exam

NCIDQ Interior Design Practicum: Practice Exam contains seven exam-like design exercises that will help you pass the Interior Design Practicum.

The exercises are divided into three parts—just like the actual Practicum—and they are consistent with the exam’s content areas and level of difficulty. Project descriptions, design instructions, building code requirements, and worksheets are provided for all exercises. Passing and failing design solutions are also included for all exercises. These solutions use a systematic approach to clearly explain passing design components, as well as common drafting errors and oversights.
